Can someone please help me with my WiFi question as it pertains to the N80.

Does having 802.11g on the phone, enable me to use the WiFi coverage at my home, where I get very poor coverage. Will the availability of 802.11g allow me to use this bandwidth to make and receive calls with better clarity.

In regards to scamming, I'd like to raise some questions about hi-mobile.net (their ads are posted throughout this site).

I suppose it's not just hi-mobile, but it seems on ebay, the negative feedback always comes from users who have made very few transactions on ebay... newbies seem to be the ones these companies try to short-change and think they can get away with it because they have a generally good reputation.

Has anyone here purchased anything from hi-mobile? There was one complaint that hi-mobile sent the customer a "c" version of the phone instead of the "i" version which they thought they were getting. Nowhere on their site are they advertising "c" models.

You should also read the so-called user comments that people can post on each phone. I think it's pretty clear who's posting those comments.

I realize that an explanation can always be produced, but it's just something to think about.

N80 and N90 are both on the market already. Only Wholesale-distributor got the phones, so they will do business mostly with any cellphone stores in California. If you want to buy one, it is better go to the cellphone store.

Does the symbian N80 support online programs like internet explorer and msn messenger? im aware that it has the WLAN function but it defeats the purpose if it doesnt support basic html web browsing and msn chat.

They're scammers mate. Don't buy unreleased phones from Ebay as they are European/Nigerian scammers who hijack legitimate ebay accounts and sell non existent items. They'll request you pay by Western Union or other form of non-recoverable money transfer, and you'll get nothing back from them. Don't even consider it fella.

got some info not sure what is going on but on ebay it seems that the nokia n80 and n92 are for sale.they claim that the product is released and is ready for shipping....why,i thought the phone is not released yet and unconfirmed it's released date.something is smelling fishy here any suggestions ???

cingular_rep you are wrong.
this phone is QUADBAND GSM 850/900/1800/1900mhz
AND dualmode WCDMA. 1900/2100 mhz which mean it supports ALL GSM bands, where did you got that info? check www.nokia.com and check the nseries site the info about the phone capabilities are there, and some related things about the phone itself. please people don't make bad publicity on a phone, u won't gain anything from it.
